– Loosen the locking knob (18) if it is tightened.
– Pull the lever (19) and rotate the saw table (14) left or
right to the required detent.
– Release the lever again. The lever must be felt to engage
in the detent.
– Retighten the locking knob (18).
Setting Any Mitre Angle (see figure K)
The mitre angle can be set between 48° (left-hand side) and
48° (right-hand side).
– Loosen the locking knob (18) if it is tightened.
– Pull the lever (19) and at the same time press the locking
clamp (17) until this clicks into the slot provided for it.
This means the saw table can now move freely.
– Turn the saw table (14) left or right by the locking knob
until the angle indicator (58) shows the required mitre
angle.
– Retighten the locking knob (18).
– To loosen the lever (19) again (for setting standard mitre
angles), pull the lever upwards.
The locking clamp (17) springs back into its original posi-
tion and the lever (19) can click back into the detents
(22).
Adjusting bevel angles
The bevel angle can be set between 47° (left-hand side)
and 47° (right-hand side).
For quick and precise setting of frequently used bevel
angles, fixed positions have been provided for the angles 0°,
22.5° and 45°.
– Make sure that the clamping wheel (45) is fitted (see "Fit-
ting the Clamping Wheel (see figure A2)", page 31).
Setting Standard Bevel Angles (see figure L)
– Pull the adjustable fences (28) all the way out or remove
them completely.
– Release the clamping wheel (45).
– Pull the locking lever (46) out and engage it in the free
running position.
This enables you to use the complete bevel angle range
(left and right).
– Swivel the tool arm left or right by the handle (9) until the
angle indicator (30) shows the required standard bevel
angle.
– Turn the locking lever (46). The locking lever must be felt
to engage in the position of the required standard bevel
angle.
– Retighten the clamping wheel (45).
Setting any bevel angle
– Pull the adjustable fences (28) all the way out or remove
them completely.
– Release the clamping wheel (45).
– Pull the locking lever (46) out and engage it in the free
running position.
This enables you to use the complete bevel angle range
(left and right).

– Swivel the tool arm left or right by the handle (9) until the
angle indicator (30) shows the required bevel angle.
– Retighten the clamping wheel (45).
Start-up
Products that are only sold in AUS and NZ: Use a resid-
u
ual current device (RCD) with a nominal residual current
of 30 mA or less.
Pay attention to the mains voltage. The voltage of the
u
power source must match the voltage specified on the
rating plate of the power tool.
Always tighten the locking knob (18) and the clamp-
u
ing wheel (45) firmly before sawing. Otherwise the saw
blade can become wedged in the workpiece.
Switching On the worklight
The worklight improves visibility in the immediate work area.
You can achieve particularly good sawing results by using the
worklight together with the cutting line that is marked by the
laser beams.
– Switch on the worklight with the switch (6).
Do not look directly into the worklight; it can blind
u
you.
Switching on (see figure M)
– To switch on the power tool, first slide the lock-off
button (7) to the middle and then press and hold the on/
off switch (8).
Note: For safety reasons, the on/off switch (8) cannot be
locked; it must remain pressed during the entire operation.
Switching off
– To switch off, release the on/off switch (8).
Soft Start
The Soft Start restricts the power consumption when the
power tool is switched on and enables operation with a 16 A
fuse.
Note: If the power tool runs at full speed immediately after
being switched on, this means that the Soft Start has failed.
The power tool must be sent to the after-sales service
without delay.
Sawing
General sawing instructions
Always tighten the locking knob (18) and the clamp-
u
ing wheel (45) firmly before sawing. Otherwise the saw
blade can become wedged in the workpiece.
For all cuts, it must first be ensured that the saw blade
u
at no time can come in contact with the fence, screw
clamps or other machine parts. Remove any mounted
auxiliary stops or adjust them accordingly.
Protect the saw blade against impact and shock. Do not sub-
ject the saw blade to lateral pressure.
Only saw materials which are permitted within the scope of
the intended use.
Do not saw warped/bent workpieces. The workpiece must
always have a straight edge to face against the fence.
